Saying Goodbye

We had to say goodbye to Bailey today and it was heart wrenching. He's been with us for ten years and he was a member of our family. I took him down and was there for him. I didn't want him to be scared or to feel all alone and deserted. He fell asleep, sitting with me on the floor and that was his last recollection. We are going to miss him so much (I write this through a haze of tears) but it was the right thing to do. Here's to Bailey - we're glad you were in our lives!

So sad Jen. I clearly remember Bailey and the sweater pic and how much we laughed and laughed at how he looked. Good memories and such a great dog.

Sorry to hear Jen.

Take Care
Jen, Justin - we are so sorry to hear about Bailey. We lost our dog Buster suddenly 2 years ago and we still hurt over it. We'd had him since he was 6 weeks old and he was only 8 when he died.

We were glad the boys were to young to know what was happening (though they definitely remember Buster) so Steve & I could mourn the loss. We hope you & Justin have that opportunity as well.

Now the boys often talk about Buster and are comforted by thunderstorms cause they say it's Buster barking 'hi' down to them from doggy heaven.

Oh, I'm so sorry you guys. I know we Hudson's loved Bailey, especially Toby who is up in Doggie Heaven waiting to be reunited with his buddy. Can't you just see (and hear) them now!

Very sorry for your loss, we know how special Bailey was.
Hugs The Hudson's

That is super sad.... I am thinking of you, I remember what I went through with Beau, so take all the time you need to heal. Love you guys, and miss you all!!!
Jen,

I was just catching up on your blog tonight and saw this post about Bailey. What happened? Was he sick? I didn't know anything about it. I'm so sorry. I remember him so well as a puppy. He was so awesome! I loved having him around. I can't imagine when we have to put Wyatt down. That will be one sad day. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that you had to put him down and I'm sorry that it took me so long to find out! Love Ya
